Marriage i'm Old Rome.

In the early days the strictest kind
of marriage conferred ON the Roman
wife privileges which were considera-
BILE in extent and honorable in degree.
When married by the law of "cum
conventions" and with the form of
confarreatio" - the two eating to-
gether the sacred sailed cake, and she,
the bride, promising to share with her
husband water and fire-she was set
in q place of personal dignity and
moral power; and though she belonged
to the family more than to the COM
munity, the state took care of her in
ests and provided for her welfare. Her
legal personality was certainly merged
in that of her husband, who was en-
phatically the master of the household:
she was counted as one of his family.
and was no longer under the protec-
ton of her own; but she was secure
from his caprice, and could not be di-
vorced at his pleasure. Nor might she
be ill-used, and she was as much mis-
tress in the house as he was master.
"Ubi tn Gaius, ego GAIA" she said to
her bridegroom when she was lifted
over his threshold as q reminescence
of the time when she had been won by
violence and carried off by force.
where thou art lord am lady," was
her half-threatening promise of self
assertion. And the Roman woman was
not one to use this formula falteringly
not one whose dignity of command
could be easily softened or detected
by love. Bound by this double link of
law and religion, the wifes legal posi-
ton was that of her husbands child,
but she was protected against that
breadth of paternal power which made
the father both the law and the execu-
tive in his own household, and enabled
him to sell his children into slavery or
to put him to death for certain offenses.
She was free from the domination of
her own father, and her husbands was
restricted. She inherited from her
husband equally, but only equally,
with her children, and as a daughter
she shared with her brothers.-Fort-

AS will be seen by the cut above, it is very
nearly finished as regards its exterior. It's
height Is 40 feet, and IL is surmounted by an
open, arcaded carved-stone lantern. An order
OF canopied and traceried windows enriches and
breaks the summit of the tower At it's base
projects square porch, decorated externally
with n historical frieze. 1t is divided into bas-
reiefs. which represent the career OF Garfield
as a teacher. a soldier. statesman, Presi-
dent, and his remarkable funeral. The tower
rises from broad terraces, which will be
reached by wide-spreading steps and thus
form dignined approach to the monu-
meEt. The porch is entered through wide
and richly decorated recessed portal, and
within is a wide Sestibule vaulted in stone and
with pavement of stone mosaic. The memo
rial shrine occupies the entire space inclosed by
the outer circular walls of the tower, and IS de-
signed to contain bronze or marble portrait
statue Of Garfield standing on q pedestal in the
center of the chamber. The statue is made the
soul Of the monument: the whole design leads
up to and is concentrated on this central figure

1t is the intention of the trustees to decorate
this interior in a very elaborate manner. 1t is
as yet very Incomplete. but, nevertheless Wis
itors are charged an admission fee of 10 cents
to view the structure. This is amusing in the
face Of the fact that the people are also paying
for the monument. The fund originally raised
amounted to $50, 30, and with interest for
six years paid will eventually reach 100000.

Powderly, urging him to reconsider his de-
termination to retire from the leadership

of his present term. He has just received
response from Powderly, in which he
saws that he does not see how he can con-
sistently reconsider his determination. In
speaking of the abuse by newspapers and
threats of impeachment, he says:

WASHINGTON special TO Chicago Inter
Ocean: "The friends of Randall have been
advised that if their leader is not willing to
accept the administration tariff bill he will be
drummed out of camp. The farce OF read
ing Randall out of the party is n
pretty old one here, and he is likely TO live
to fight many day as an honored leader
in his party That he will not accept the
administration bill there is not the slightest
doubt He will consent to a large reduction
of revenue, but he will never allow two-thirds
of the reduction to come from sources now
protected by the tariff. In the last Congress
Randall had less than a score OF adherents on

memorial monument at Cleveland is COM

Bloody Indian Territory.

TERRIBLE tragedy is reported from tho
Indian Territory, which grew out of the at
tempt of deputy marshal named Dalton 10
arrest a horse-t thief named Smith. The latter
was found in tent, in which there were also
another man named Dixon and his wife.
When the officer inquired for Smith the
desperate rushed out and fired upon him,
and a general fight ensued, which
resulted in the killing OF Dalton and Smith
and Mrs Dixon. Dalton and Cole were brave
mon, have killed several desperadoes in the
Nation, and were looked upon by the United
States Marshal as the best men on his force.
This makes fifteen United States Marshals

years
